Black Tea Banana Cake with Blackberries

Have you guys ever infused tea into your cake batter?! Well get your tea bags out, now is the time! This cake totally blew me away, the flavour was rich and sophisticated and went extremely well with the blackberries. The key is to use really good quality tea bags so it actually tastes like the flavour of tea and not just pure bitterness.

The way we infused the tea was through almond milk. Just heat up almond milk like you would water, but take it off the heat right before it starts to boil, and steep a tea bag in it for 2-3 minutes.

You'll notice that there's not much sweetness in this cake, we found you don't need much sweetener because of the bananas and the tea is the highlight anyways.

I attempted to drizzle dark chocolate over top but left it on the stove for too long and burnt it! Nothing is sadder than a pot of burnt chocolate.

About Me

We are twin sisters who absolutely love food, especially fresh, healthy food. We used to eat all the regular junk you get at the grocery store, but realized that you are what you eat and food can either help or hinder you. It's a challenge to make healthy dishes that actually taste good and are visually appealing, which is why we wanted to start a collection of eats that have simple ingredients yet are still interesting and exciting. We are not trained chefs, nor do we have any experience cooking in restaurants, we are just very passionate about cooking (and eating of course!). Enjoy the recipes, reviews and research!
